C2 Mock Paper MS

The document is a mark scheme for a mock exam in Edexcel Core Mathematics C2. It provides the marking schemes for 10 questions on the exam, showing the marks allocated for each part of each question. For each question, it lists the specification areas or skills assessed and the breakdown of the total marks across the 5 assessment objectives of the qualification. In total, the paper assesses skills across several areas of the C2 specification and allocates 75 marks, with most marks going toward assessment objectives AO1 (use and apply standard techniques), AO2 (reason, interpret and communicate mathematically) and AO3 (solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts).
